Sometimes "the favorite" pays

I don't mean that I'm Mom's favorite - that's not what I'm suggesting, but this morning I took Mom and April out for breakfast at Joe's Bakery with some of my winnings from yesterday's Kentucky Derby. The post-time favorite Street Sense paid $11.80 to win, the highest-priced winning favorite in Derby history. As always is the case when I am lucky enough to pick the winner, I didn't bet enough on Street Sense, but he was my pick, and I also had the 8 horse in my action so I won an exacta. The 7-8-2-5 superfecta, which in hindsight was an easy pick, paid $29,046.40. I should have had that twice...
